I like to get back to drawing one of these days. That’d be nice. 😊

Mel Reyes-Bayside yelling at somebody off-screen for presumably breaking a screen off a computer monitor. The text reads "You just ruined a perfectly fine IPS panel! A 4K one at that! The hell’s wrong with you?! Are you stupid?"

Mel is wearing a "Cajas Cyclones" team jersey with her midriff exposed.

Mel & Phoebe are living in the new age! Well Mel’s living it up. Phoebe’s doing her own thing 😂

Drawn by @onlyboney.bsky.social , we have Mel & Phoebe parodying the cover to "Livin’ In The New Age" by Andre Cymoné! Enjoy! 😉

#OC #OCsky #MelBayside #PhoebeTheCat #Commission #Parody #IslaDeLasCajas

Mel and Phoebe parodying the album cover to Andre Cymoné’s "Living In The New Age". Mel is front and center looking directly at the viewer. She’s wearing a black t-shirt with white accents on the collar & sleeves. Mel is holding her hands up while a beam of light and stars shine in-between her hands. Phoebe is on the bottom right corner licking herself. Background is an array of geometric shapes and grid patterns.

The cover art to Andre Cymoné’s 1982 album "Living In The New Age" for comparison.

19. "What's your oc's biggest goal? Will they be able to achieve it?"

Besides Mel’s hobbies & running her comics shop, her biggest goal is to be a worthy successor as the island’s guardian after her mom & her aunt.

It’ll take time but she’ll be able to do it!

Lastly we have Mel in more home clothes. A simple black tee with baggy pants!

I like to think Mel wears this and her "Service Games" fit days where she has time off work & wants to solder mod chips to her old retro consoles. 🎮

This is a callback to when I drew Mel with said shirt eons ago. Available in black and blue variants! Also peep the ear accessory. 😉 🪐

Despite the roughness of the sketch, this was a fun exercise! 😊

I remember that CSP had 3D models integrated. So I added the model offset to blank space and used it as reference to show how Mel would look at an isometric angle. 📐

I present a (very crude) rough sketch of my OC Mel! 💫

This was mostly for me to practice perspective and angles. It ain't Van Gogh, but it's something. 🤷
